Definition and meaning
to cry aloud; in NT pass., to be disturbed, disquieted, alarmed, terrified, Mt. 24:6; Mk. 13:7; 2 Thess. 2:2*
In the original Greek the word is written: θροέω
Historical context
Rome had controlled Judea since 63 BC. Herod the Great rebuilt the Temple into one of the most magnificent structures in the ancient world — and simultaneously murdered members of his own family. The common people paid multiple layers of taxation and were politically powerless. Into that world a carpenter from Galilee began teaching that the kingdom of God had arrived.
The people who first heard this word were not reading a book — they were living through empires, oppression, exile, and covenant. Every word carried the weight of that reality. Understanding it changes how you read Scripture.
